About the AirTAC ACQ40

The AirTAC ACQ40 is a double-acting compact (ultra-thin) cylinder with a 40 mm bore and a 16 mm piston rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628 N and pulls 528 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 880 N push and 739 N pull. Force depends on bore and pressure only, so every stroke on this page gives the same output.

All ACQ40 versions share 1/8" air ports, an M8×1.25 female rod thread (B versions have a M14×1.5 male rod end) and rubber bumpers at both ends. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 30 to 500 mm/s. This page lists 166 stock order codes with strokes from 5 to 300 mm; catalog standard strokes run up to 100 mm, and the longer codes are non-standard strokes we already supply.

PressurePushPull

Push = pressure × bore area; pull subtracts the Ø16 mm rod area. Usable force is lower because of friction and back-pressure.

Where the ACQ40 Is Used

Pick-and-place and transfer

About 628 N at 0.5 MPa suits pushers, stoppers and transfer slides.

Packaging machines

Carton pushers, gates and diverters on packaging lines.

Sensed positioning

Magnet versions report stroke ends to the PLC through cylinder sensors.

Choosing the Right ACQ40 Configuration

Start with the stroke. Pick the exact travel your machine needs; a longer stroke adds length, weight and air consumption without adding force. If your length is not listed, request a quote and we will confirm whether it can be built.

Then choose the mounting. Basic (no code) uses the cylinder's own mounting holes. This bore is stocked with LB foot, FA front flange, FB rear flange, CB double clevis. Foot and flange mountings hold the cylinder rigid for straight-line loads; clevis and trunnion mountings let it pivot when the load moves in an arc.

Finally pick the version: S adds a magnet for position sensors; the standard seal suits general automation; B gives a male threaded rod end instead of the standard female thread; H (FKM) is for higher temperatures or oil-contaminated air; G replaces the standard PT ports with G (BSPP).

AirTAC ACQ40 FAQ

No. Every ACQ40 gives about 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, whatever the stroke.

1/8" ports, PT thread as standard. The G version has G (BSPP) ports.

Basic plus LB foot, FA front flange, FB rear flange, CB double clevis. Use foot or flange for straight-line loads, clevis or trunnion when the cylinder must pivot.

Usually yes. Request a quote with the stroke, mounting and version and we will confirm whether it can be built, plus price and lead time.

0.15 to 1.0 MPa operating pressure (proof 1.5 MPa) and -20 to +70 °C on filtered air.

No. You can order a single ACQ40. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
